Gilson Cottage is the perfect spot for guests wanting to leave their car behind and enjoy the benefits of staying at the heart of a traditional North Yorkshire village.Perfect for walkers, cyclists and ramblers there are plenty of well-established walks, public footpaths and cycle routes that lead directly from the village, out into the magnificent countryside of North Yorkshire and beyond, including the very popular Coast to Coast walk as well as many others.

There are markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays, as well as a popular monthly farmers’ market offering local produce, food and drink.

This a fabulous place to stay; right opposite is a village green with a beck (stream) running though it… ideal location for a country break. The cottage itself is one of the best equipped I've ever stayed at; washing machine, dish washer, top of the range kitchen and associated equipment; shower room was top of the range too with power shower with heat sensor and an over the top sink mirror with sense activated surround lights - a lot of money has been spent on making this a top class place to stay. If you have a dog with you, even better... there's a smallish dog cage and even a basket of dog toys/equipment too !!! Nice enclosed small courtyard with table, chairs, etc; I'd have given this a 12/10 if the system would have allowed it xxx

Gilson Cottage is a joy from the moment you pull up and only gets better when you walk through the front door when you are immediately made aware of the care that has gone into this beautiful home, because that's how your made to feel at home everything you need to make your holiday perfect has been catered for from the brilliantly equipped kitchen to the luxury mattresses, and the best shower ever! For me the outstanding thing was the cleanliness the place is spotless which is so important when you arrive at a holiday home it shows that the owners really care. Alison and Peter are lovely host happy to give you lots of information about the area and places to visit, a very relaxed couple that make you feel your talking to old friends. Definitely a place to return to.

A very well equipped cottage where everything worked! Warm and cosy, very comfortable bed. Lovely view from the main bedroom over the village green. Spotlessly clean.

Canny and cute little cottage overlooking the village green. Everything a couple or small family would need. Ideally situated to explore North Yorks; easy to reach the coast an moors via scenic drive. Very close to Northallerton for all requirements but 3 pubs and small shop in walking distance for immediate essentials
